Personally I don't mind some jokes here but I can't see what the joke is you're trying to make. If it was a clearly funny comment it perhaps wouldn't fair as badly.
Which is funny to me, but the parent might as well have been referencing something their mate told them; how much of the global audience on HN knows that skit. Anyway, we're well OT.
Shoot - this wants me to make a "front fell off" joke... but HN hates jokes.
